Wonderful themed hotel which is the perfect choice when visiting Yale and staying in New Haven! I really enjoyed the lobby and room decor, which is Yale themed. Everything was high quality, and the room is a good size, especially the bathroom. I also really liked the coffee shop down stairs that opened at 6:30 AM for coffee and pastries. The front of house staff are very friendly and helpful. They also have bicycles that are free to use!!

The price of the room per night is fairly high. Also, there are no foreign plugs / adapters available.

It is in the perfect location. close to downtown and close to Yale. Everything is walking distance. the room was clean and beautiful! the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s a small hotel but so quaint. Chexk in and out was super easy. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was so pretty and super clean. I loved the pop out window with seating- you have a great view of the street and all the excitement.

the only thing was they didn’t have any parking passes so I had to pay for parking on the street. that was a little inconvenient, especially if you wanted to sleep in- I had to get up at 8am everyday except Sunday and feed the meter. it was a hassle

The atmosphere of the Graduate is fantastic! Super fun decor, and we loved the cafe (they even let us hang out in the back room while the cafe was closed during the evening for some family board games). Staff were quite friendly, and even accommodated us checking in a bit early (and held our bags until the room was ready). We upgraded our room to a king for just a couple of dollars, which was wild since it was during Yale graduations! Surprisingly affordable accommodations, definitely a good value.

Just wish we could have stayed longer :) The only super tiny thing is the lady at the desk didn't seem to want to check if our specific room was ready, she just offered to hold our bags and tell us to check back later (but given the hotel was full the night before, this was still fairly reasonable).

So unique! Fun and eclectic furnishings, great decor. It felt like stepping back in time. Room was quiet, clean, and comfortable, and the bathroom was bigger than mine at home! 😃 Great location - so many choices for dining, and lots of shops. We were there to visit with a great-nephew who is entering Yale Medical School, and we were able to walk almost everywhere; the hotel is practically on campus.

I have difficulty with my knees and there are some pretty steep steps coming in and out. But it’s not a dealbreaker - I would stay there again.

Stylish hotel in central New Haven, right next to Yale campus, you could see students lounging in the downstairs hotel lounge & cafe/bar. The room was nicely decorated, very clean and while not too spacious, big enough for two people and with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was well equipped and had plenty of space. It all doesn't come cheap, but it's reasonably priced for what it is.

There wasn't any actual free parking nearby, although the garage in York Street was fairly reasonably priced ($18 per day). The view from our room wasn't that great either (to the back of the hotel). It'd also be nice to have some tea available in the room, not just coffee :)

What a fantastic stay!! The room was as beautiful as comfortable, great job in renovating this landmark hotel in New Haven. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was perfect to reach all restaurants and shops on foot. What a treat! We would definitely come back here in the future!

Cleaning of the room is on request only, so keep an eye on the toilet paper! Despite being on the expensive side, the room rates do not include breakfast. However, you can always get coffee and pastries in the lobby, which was excellent and the staff very friendly and accomodating.

Great location, really friendly staff, fun decor, great gathering spaces, comfortable rooms, kettle in room & fridge. The restaurant /pub has board games, pretzel &brat& popcorn. Lobby level has lots of gathering spaces, quiet nooks and coffee bar mornin to midday.

Few stairs from street to lobby level...not ideal if luggage is heavy. No on-site parking, but great parking garage around the corner (also with really friendly staff). Limited pub fare, but so many restaurants in walking distance. Upper floor room got warm, took a little to figure out where to set the thermostat.

This renovated hotel retains its old fashioned charm while adding modern conveniences and nice finishing touches. Lobby is enormous and comfortable. It's not over-the-top-pseudo-fancy -- just tasteful and charming.

The bathroom door could have closed a tad easier... could use a very slight planing on one side.

- Charming hotel with friendly staff. Rooms were clean and as pictured. - Looks like management added tea pot in response to multiple complains about no tea/coffee in the room. - Really liked the small reading room / library areas with board games. - While no parking provided by the hotel, street parking is avail. Free between 9 pm and 8 am. I download the app and was able to pay for parking in 2-hour increments during the day.

- The biggest issue was the extreme humidity in the room - with AC going at 73F, bedding was damp. very very damp. - No ramp for luggage. We had only carry on luggage so was not an issue but I can see how this can be a problem. The entrance from the street has 3 steps and then inside the door to lobby level there are 6-7 steps… Staff doesn’t offer ANY assistance. - No complimentary water, 2 bottles in the room are $5 - We decided to have coffee / croissants in the hotel cafe place. 2 coffees and 3 croissants were approx $36 but the issue was not only the price but that the croissants were stale.

The decor was very unique and memorable both in the lobby and in the rooms itself. Room itself was beautifully and ornately decorated, but a little dim. Large, roomy bathroom (though not the greatest lighting for applying makeup). Very friendly hotel staff. A great stay for the value

Lighting was a little dim in the room, there was a bit of a musty smell.
